    Revolutionary Leadership
    18 Jan 2024
    Ever wonder who will carry the torch of change into the future of American politics and environmental action? Be inspired by two trailblazers whose leadership and determination exemplify what's needed to ensure a more equitable and sustainable future for all. Juan Ramiro Sarmiento of Run for Something discusses how the organization reshapes the political sphere by supporting young, diverse candidates in key, down-ballot local and state elections. Transitioning from the ballot box to the courtroom, we are joined by the formidable Talia Hernandez, whose environmental activism takes on a legal dimension as she and other committed youth take on Montana's reliance on fossil fuels.Revolutionary Leadership is a powerful illustration of the broader fight for our planet's future and embodies the hope that defines the ethos of our season finale. Tune into Radical Imagination as we dive into the stories and solutions that are fueling change. www.radicalimagination.us
